JHR

[Ira Hayes]

Seems like he is just hitting that point where he doesn't care if he screws up and Frank yells at him. He's just gonna go out and kick as much ass as he can.  That may not be a lot of ass, but it's something.

McGruder is still the best player on this team.  Wish he was at the same point mentally as JHR.

so dumb

I can't imagine how bad his efficiency numbers would be if you removed Jake from this team.  Not sure he would ever get a good look that wasn't off of an offensive rebound.

WTF are you talking about? It's this new "motion offense" that has completely stunted McOReb's offensive production. I'm not agreeing that he's the best player on the team, but saying he'd be terrible without Jake is just Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).

JHR has some really seemingly bad brainfarts from time to time, but I wonder how many of those are just his body betraying him. It's obvious that his frame is keeping him from maximizing his potential, he just looks weak and goofy as hell out there despite his effort. Thing is though, a lot of our bigs lack/have lacked explosiveness. JamSam and CK are the only ones who have shown flashes of it. Judge and 'Sprilla were both weak. Maybe this is on our assistants and/or S&C coaches? I dunno. Would love to hear from HBBIQ types on this.

had a couple bad plays back to back. He let a couple little shits drive under him...needs to block/change shot on those.

How has his production been stunted when he is more productive than he has ever been in his career?  He has scored at or over his average 8 times since January 5th, he did it 6 times before that.  

He doesn't handle the ball well enough to create his own shot.  Not sure what you people have been watching but he's always been a jump shooter that relies on Jake penetrating with the ball

Here are numbers from his 5 highest point totals this season

24 points against UMKC 7-10 from the 3 point line
19 points against OSU 3-6 from the 3 point line
17 points against Emporia State 3-6 from the 3 point line
16 points against Texas Tech 4-5 from the 3 point line
15 points against KU, Savannah St., and Washington St. he hit 3 three point shots against KU and Savannah and 5 against Washington St.

The UNLV and Oklahoma State games are the only games this season where he made more than 3 two point FGs, he had 5 and 4 respectively.  He has only had 6 games in which he has made more than 2 two point FGs.

I would bet that at least 50% of Jake's assists are to Rodney with his feet set.  I love Rodney and eff you guys for making me say anything remotely negative about him but he is a standing jump shooter.

jhr played fine.  liked him today.


agree with mir on mcgruder.  he's our knutson (but as a bouncy, silky soph, not as a sr), and i love him.

I was close to slipping into SD-hate mode when he got blocked by that goofy-ass frosh that CU has. That was inexplicable.

[kougar24]

Of course McG is just a rough ridin' jumpshooter. Hint: it's ok to have those on your team. We don't need him to create his own shot. We need a guard who can break a defense down and create shots for others (like McG).

JHR should know how to embarrass a freshman who is presumably much less athletic than him. That's how I viewed it.

you and chum1 have a weird thing going tonight were you pick an argument and then your argument is the exact same thing as the argument of the poster you're arguing with.

Serious question.  Are you a fuckin' idiot?  I said Rodney would be much less efficient without Jake relieving pressure off of him and you had a seizure disagreeing with me?  Jake IS the guard breaking down defenses creating for Rodney's shot.  That's what I rough ridin' said Lacey.  Goddamn

Ok. It's just me getting frustrated that my projections of how things should work with him didn't work out on that play. You're right.

One problem: Jake isn't good at creating shots for others. He's ok at creating shots for himself, but he'll never be mistaken for a great distributor.

Weren't McG's best games during Jake's suspension?

He's the best on this team, by a long long long way.  You aren't playing devils advocate, you're just obtuse. 

As already pointed out, out of Rodney's 7 highest scoring game, one his best one came while Jake was gone.  He hit 7 three pointers against UMKC.

= tallest midget. There ARE no good distributors on this team. Maybe Angel will be one next year, but I don't think we can be much worse at breaking down defenses to get open looks for our shooters.

HOLY eff KOUGAR   Of goddamn course that's the issue, once again no one has claimed the alternative.  Even the rough ridin' idiots like ednksu knows there are no point guards on this team.  Go to bed man.

So, if your whole point was that Pullen is the "best player" on the team as opposed to McG, I'm ok with that. If it was that McG will struggle next year without Pullen, I disagree.

That better?

Much better, and for the record I don't think Rodney will be horrible next year.  His role will be different, and he will get better with the ball.

[michigancat]

Pullen's asst. rate is better than Denis' the last two seasons.

[Kat Kid]

Pullen's asst. rate is better than Denis' the last two seasons.

Pullen is much less selfish about going to the rim this year and I think that is coloring people's perceptions. He passes out when appropriate. Considering his 3 point shooting, it is the best part of his game right now.

[Clevey 2 Times]

Anyone see that play where JHR dunked on bitches, post foul call on Pullen?
